My interest in genealogy began 64 years ago when I followed my mother's and grandmother's conversations as they traced relationships of their friends and family.

My memorials are family members, then relatives of relatives. My childhood piano teacher and other early settlers, friends of my parents and grandparents were next. Being from a small Nebraska town, this can be quite involved. But interesting. Very interesting.

As a Find A Grave photo volunteer for Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery, I sometimes stumble - literally - over a neglected or forgotten grave marker. I add information or create memorials for the lives I discover in this way.

RE: Maude Lovejoy photo requestThe only information I have is Plot: G - L 21-22 S-. This was listed by VDR the creator of the Memorial on Find A Grave. Her sister is Mabel D. Lovejoy in sec 25, Lot 18 grave 15 I need a photo of her marker if possible. There grandmother is also buried in Lone Fir her name is Emma L. Gentry I have her marker she is in Sec 19 Lot 3 GIN according to Linda Jenkins Werts creator of her memorial. Don't spend too much time looking for the markers. Thank you for your time and patience.Charles Smith

RE: P H RedmondThanks so much for your efforts--do you know if there were any pictures in the articles you viewed? That would be great to see. Also, did you do the cleanup around the grave yourself? Someone really unearthed a treasure, and the work is appreciated.
